Video game fan art takes many forms, from drawings of characters to elaborate cosplay. And then there are those who take things a step further and attempt to bring the world of a game into our own. Several groups of gaming fans have attempted to recreate video games live, and here are some of our favorite results of those experiments.

Performing video games "live" can mean many things, and thus you'll see a few different interpretations on this list. There are video games performed on stage, stop-motion videos and even an elaborate construction project. Of course, there are several more live-action gaming homages out there, so please feel free to share your favorites in the comments.

A very different take on a live-action video game, German designer Malte Jehmlich's physical recreation of WipeOut was a huge viral hit on the 'net a few months ago. By building a WipeOut-inspired track and pairing video game controls with an actual physical car, he completely reinterpreted the relationship between games and the real world.
